Description oliver_stieber 2005-06-15 20:36:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be great if konqueror could display windows applications with their native embedded icons.

See this entry on kde-apps for a first cut example.

Now that KDE has been ported to Windows, this wish is even more important.

Comment 4 Ivo Anjo 2009-01-05 18:42:11 UTC

This probably should be changed to kdelibs, it's not konqueror's "job" to have something like this.

Comment 5 Angel Blue01 2009-03-04 17:10:33 UTC

Now that WINE is mature enough to be included by default in some distros, KDE should display the executable's icon.

Pali Rohár (from bug 185348) had submitted a patch to implement this to Reviewboard: http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1533/

I filed bug 211491 about the much more limited bug that Dolphin doesn't preview web favicon.ico files you save locally.  An easy fix for that is to simply add image/vnd.microsoft.icon; (and maybe image/x-icon; as well) to the MimeType line in
/usr/share/kde4/services/imagethumbnail.desktop, which currently has the alias image/x-ico but not the correct mime type in it.  Restart KDE and those simple .ico files preview.

The patch for this bug at http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1533/ seems far more invasive, adding a dependency (without fallback?) on `wrestool` and `icotool` executables from an icotools package that isn't installed or packaged in Kubuntu even with Wine installed.  But it does much more, handling executables as well.

Closing as the implementation was commited already.
